Former land girl Mary Bott from Aberporth was one of the special guests at the unveiling of a commemorative statue to the World War II workers last week.

Hundreds of former land girls attended the unveiling of a life-size statue in honour of their work during the two World Wars.

The 8ft high bronze sculpture, created by Denise Dutton, was unveiled by Sophie, Countess of Wessex, at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Mary, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, said: "It was a lovely, moving day."
